Twitter looks to team up with publishers to display ads on other websites.
So far, Twitter's advertising team has concentrated on sponsored tweets and variants thereof that appear on Twitter.com and the company's mobile apps. But as the Wall Street Journal reports, Twitter is looking at a new place to put its ads: other websites.
The Journal says Twitter plans to "sell ads within streams of tweets on other publishers' apps and websites." The idea, according to The Journal, is to "make money from the millions of people who see tweets all over the Web but don't actually use Twitter."
Twitter, which announced its plans during a presentation this past week at CES, would share a portion of the revenue generated from the ads with the participating sites, according to the report.
The story behind the story: Twitter has made a big advertising push over the past year or so: Back in April, Twitter hinted that it would roll out 15 new kinds of ads over six months. And just last week, the world learned a bit more about Twitter's plans for video ads. However, those were all extensions of the existing Twitter Cards system.
This new initiative, therefore, would seem to represent a shift in strategy for Twitter, since it's the first time the company has published ads outside its own site or products. It'll be interesting to see how Internet users take to Twitter's new approach.

Creating a strong company culture may sound like a daunting task, but it’s actually pretty straightforward. In fact, company culture is created in exactly the same fashion as a religion or democracy. Behaviours created from the organisation’s inception are reinforced over time by leadership, attracting like-minded people and eventually reaching critical mass to become an accepted ‘truth’.
The question I get asked most regularly these days is: ‘Do I need to rebuild my company’s systems on Blockchain?’ And the answer, every time, is ‘No, you’re asking the wrong question’.
Throughout my career, I have witnessed a litany of brand names that profess to have a unique customer value proposition (CVP). In reality, however, they’ve had little more than a ‘value proposition’: A simple list of benefits applied to a general audience.
In this bonus last episode of this new podcast series, BrandHook MD, Pip Stocks, talks with former ANZ group general manager of marketing, Louise Eyres, talks about the importance of thinking like a customer and using intuition to solve customer painpoints.
